Pin Up Preoccupation!

Since I started my channel in 2008, there has been one recurring draw for ladies of all ages: The Classic Pin Up Girl. It seems that when ladies see those stunningly gorgeous art pieces by Alberto Vargas, Gil Elvgren and others, they just get all swoony and longy. :) I know I do. In spite of the fact that I will inevitably age and no longer be fresh and rosy as the 20-somethings that modeled for those pieces, I will continue to strive for that sort of coquettish charm on occasion.

In addition to those lovely old paintings and the famous photos of Betty Grable and others that still maintain the standard of 'Pin Up', there are also lots of modern glamour girls that are keeping the style and appeal of the classic pin up girl alive.

Amazing photographers are everywhere mastering the art of editing and lighting so that anyone can become a perfect Pin Up by simply utilizing the skillsets of specialists in vintage style and wardrobe.
